Eva Be has carved a niche for herself on the electronic club music scene as both a producer and a DJ with her distinctive and elegant flair.

As per CDR session usual, we had a little catch up with Kid Fonque ahead of his session in Johannesburg tonight:

Dubwise it don't get much deeper than Kalbata (Ariel Tagar), as shown with his releases on Soul Jazz, Double Science, Botanika, Greenmoney, and Yellow Machines.

Based in Berlin , the city of her family roots, it was here that Josa Peit started creating her own eclectic musical universe. Since coming onto the scene in 2009 she has been raising her project and crafting her sound.

Edinburgh via Sydney and Melbourne, the transatlantic Jonny Faith is head honcho at Headroom, and both a solid producer and DJ with releases on Civil Music and The Frequency Lab. The talented Scotsman draws on a wide range on influences to conjure up his distinct style of infections beats and rhythms, having made a resounding contribution to the Australian music scene.

As per CDR session usual, we had a little catch up with Joe ahead of his session at Rye Wax next week

Continuing our series whereby members of CDR’s extended family share their My First... memories, Nick ‘Emanative’ Woodmansey talks drums, $pace Jazz and his involvement in the Steve Reid Foundation.

A regular at CDR Berlin sessions, Domenique Xander (real name: Alexander Schulz), is gaining a reputation as a house cat to listen out for.

A one-off, Dobie has been a friendly face and pioneering individual in the history of British soul, hip-hip and subsequent bass music developments for time.

Bad Company, Exit Records, Club Autonomic... If you've an ear on underground UK music scenes over the past decade (and some) you've surely listened and danced to dBridge.

A disco scholar? "Professor of Vogue"? Either honorary title is fitting for the DJ, producer and music educator based in Berlin for 10 years now. 'Like Some Dream', Daniel Wang is best known for his label, Balihu Records, his joyfully entrancing DJ sets, and carefree informed opinions.

Swiss artist Sassy J is like a rainbow on a sunny day. Her creative approach canvases everything she touches from DJ sets, illustrations and hand-sewn fashion. Her Bern-based night Patchwork Night is almost a decade strong, and attracts a loving crowd of those who simply love music.

Crossing the boundaries of soul, jazz, jungle, drum and bass, breakbeat, techno, hip hop, brazilian and broken beat, Dego has made an immeasurable (yet somewhat understated) influence on the UK dance and electronica music scene spanning the 90s and early noughties. It is little wonder that words like ‘pioneer’, ‘visionary’ and ‘tastemaker’ are often used to describe Dennis ‘Dego’ Macfarlane - and deservedly so.

CDR x Roundhouse Rising runnings well underway!

We were first introduced to Ben Houghton at a recent CDR Melbourne and were thrilled to hear that this wasn’t his first session. Ben attended the very early Melbourne sessions and CDR Berlin. However what really left a mark on us was his incredibly tight unreleased track “Babez” aired at Loop.

"CDR is one of my main creative resources and home for real music lovers"

Blowing our own trumpet isn’t really our thing but when we stand back and reflect that for many music makers CDR has been a vital catalyst in their trajectories, it’s heart-warming. ‍One artist we’re particularly proud to have seen brave the move from playing music privately to publicly is Daisuke Tanabe. While in London from 2001 to 2006, Daisuke would frequent CDR sessions (on Thursdays back then), now living in Chiba, he answered our Qs about his CDR memories.

Watching artists mature through their musical careers is a major part of the sentimental side to CDR. It's been a while since we first crossed paths with Eric Lau and those Freeness days. Definitely, time we caught up with the London-based producer, let's go!

There's something entrancing about tracks which get called midtempo, or even slow house. Songs you find yourself bopping to as they chug along at 100-110bpm. Kwaito tracks have the knack and Cuetec's shown us via CDR Berlin sessions that he's also mastering that groove. Before he makes the step from production to playing in public this Thursday, we had a little talk.

Back in 2007 and '08, Cosmin TRG's releases on Hessle Audio, Subway and Tempa announced his relevance at a time when so-called dubstep was edging closer to its house and techno parentage. Since then he's continued to add to a growing stack of quality 12" releases with two albums out on 50 Weapons, Simulat (2011) and Gordian (2013). Prior to in-depth happenings this Thursday at CDR Berlin, we shared a preamble.

If you've been to any of our sessions in London it's likely that you would have seen, or perhaps even met Roshan Chauhan, aka R.O.S.H, as he's one of the most friendly and talented producers of what we're calling the class of 2015/16. Hailing from Herftfordshire R.O.S.H's tracks err on the more techno side of things, with similarities to producers like Hodge and the like.

From Tokyo Dawn (Records) to day and nights in Berlin, we Forget and Remember* when we first heard Comfort Fit's beats.

When listening to Ego Ella May's superb EP, The Tree, we cast eyes on the credits to see who'd crafted the productions. A name stood out, Warren XCLnce. Delving deeper we sought out Warren's own productions and were dazzled by what we heard. Time to give the man a platform.

Ant Orange is a regular to CDR Berlin and someone we’ve wanted to pick the brain of for a while.
